I havea service account that I need the password for. I cannot just change
trhe password. Is there a password cracker that I can use to crack this AD
domain service account?

Hello joey,

Why can't you change it? A service account is used for a special service
only, so you can also change the password there to a new one. After that
make sure you write it down and keep it on a safe place.

Even if possible, i think nobody here will give you info's about cracking
AD passwords.

Best regards

Meinolf Weber

Have you tried creating a new account, and use that for the service?

Also, I agree with Meinolf concerning cracking AD accounts. In your case, it
doesn't appear to be a necessary solution anyway.
